The Dove Awards were held this past Sunday and there were a lot of Pulse 101.7 artists you know and love who won awards!

Not only was it a special day for Pulse artists, it was also a throwback night for many of us who grew up listening to a band known as DC Talk. You may or may not know this, but TobyMac used to be a part of this trio! The group consisted of Toby, Kevin Max, and the Newsboys lead singer, Michael Tait. During the Dove Awards, all three came out onstage and performed “Love Feels Like” off of TobyMac’s album “This Is Not A Test.”

Here is a list of Pulse artists who won this past weekend at the Dove Awards in their respective categories:
